About the Brand

Osmanium was officially incorporated in late 2006 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin along with the release their first product, Crackheads®. Recently in October of 2008, Osmanium released its newest highly caffeinated gourmet products, Crackheads2® and Jitterbeans®! Osmanium's products are sold in the United States, Canada, and England.

The idea for Osmanium was planted when John Osmanski, Osmaniums founder, was completing his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at the time and ran across an electronic book highlighting methods to pay for college. There was a section on creating and selling candy at local fairs that struck a cord with him. After being awed by the tom foolery of some of his roommates he exclaimed that they were a bunch of fricking Crackheads(John doesn't swear much apparently). Shortly thereafter he started thinking about the name Crackheads® and what it meant to him and to others. It was always a comedic term meaning someone was acting goofy, crazy, and/or odd. The paradigm shift probably happened due to comics such as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, Will Farrell, and many others. John also remembered his teachers, professors, parents, and friends who drank coffee every single day often times become stuttering, impulsive lunatics when they missed their morning cup. T! hey often got called Crackheads or goofballs by their peers. After the idea of a product called Crackheads® engulfed John's mind he decided take his love of candy, caffeine, belief in health holistic food ingredients, interest in manufacturing, and inquiry about society to guide the creation and implementation of Osmaniums product lines.

After months of product development using his local supermarket, kitchen, Kinkos, lots of test subjects, and asking a lot and lots of questions, Crackheads® was born. The first customers of Crackheads® were local supermarkets, convenience stores, and coffee shops in the downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. After a successful inception of the product locally, and after finishing school, Osmanium has been growing and growing. We now sell internationally and continually propel the company forward. Osmanium looks to continually grow and release more confectionery products that are functional, gourmet, and good for you.

We embrace a fun filled working environment and are proud to employ local talent, handicapped workshops, sustainable resources, giving back to the community, and to promote entrepreneurialship in others in any way we can.

Fun Fact: Before Osmanium was an inkling, John created a precursor of Crackheads in a "pancake" form to help keep him up at night during an all night LAN.

I'm fatigued often, so I need a pick-me-up daily. Coffee has me running to the restroom 24/7 especially when I'm doing something important! These are the perfect treat and exactly what I need when those times come around. I love chocolate and coffee, so the marriage of the two is absolutely fantastic! With just on serving (about 7 beans) I'm alert and good to go....and with 14 beans I can do even more. These are perfect for long nights up, Spring cleaning, and morning/afternoon exercise. I fully recommend these!

I don't do Monster drinks etc. because they don't really say what they are, and when they do most of them are carbos and calories or worse. Jitterbeans say what they are, caffeine and chocolate.I started doing triathlons last year and when I get up at 4:30 in the morning to drive to a race I know that 1 cup of coffee isn't going to get me where I need to be by 7:30 when it starts. Now I could drink 3 cups of coffee, but then I'd be looking for a restroom 1/2 way through the bike event.So on the way to the race I chew a few jitterbeans for the extra get up and go.....and the fact that chocolate doesn't taste too bad :-) !

If you're a fan of coffee and/or coffee beans, this is the perfect chocolate-covered candy. The price is the cheapest I found online, and that includes the official Jitterbeans website. If you like caffeine, coffee, and chocolate, you can't go wrong!
